Feeling More Myself

I'm feeling more myself these days. Unfortunately, that means feeling sad at times. I think I'm finally processing some of the losses of the last few months.

Life has its up and downs. Goodness knows I've been the recipient of much grace, not only this year, but throughout my life. Grace comes in many forms - from the kindness of friends who fill your freezer with food when you have surgery to the whisper of a grieving wife asking you to be involved in the spreading of a loved one's ashes.

I need to find some time for quiet. I need to write and paint and think. I need to experience. I need to go away for a few days and devote myself to those pursuits, allowing myself to feel however I feel. It's hard to hear the quiet for the din of daily living.
